Centre Pompidou will close from 2025 to 2030 for renovations


The Centre Pompidou in Paris will close completely to the public for five years, from the end of 2025 to 2030, for renovation and modernization work.

The Centre Pompidou in Paris, among the most important museums of modern and contemporary art in the world, will close completely to the public for five years, from the end of 2025 to 2030, for renovation and modernization works, as stated by Culture Minister Rima Abdul Malak and reported in the French press. Announced in 2021 by then Culture Minister Roselyne Bachelot, these modernization and asbestos removal works, which will cost 262 million euros, were initially to extend from 2023 to 2027, the year of the institution’s 50th anniversary.

The move and gradual closure will begin in the fall of 2024. Work on renovation and removal of asbestos on all facades, fire safety, and energy optimization of the building, as well as necessary arrangements for better accessibility for people with disabilities, is expected to begin in early 2026.

Upon reopening, the layout will be renovated from a multidisciplinary perspective. New spaces for young people and the expansion of its library are planned.

Opened in 1977, the museum has never been renovated. These interventions have become essential because of the corrosion and wear and tear that plague the huge building. They will allow it to “sustain its survival,” the minister insisted.
